Resilient by design: Preventing wildfires and blackouts with microgrids

Preventing blackouts.

Resilient Distribution System by Forming/coupling Microgrids in Extreme Contigencies

The ability of the distribution system to efficiently withstand low-probability, high-impact events; while enabling a quick recovery and restoration to the normal state is interpreted as resiliency. Microgrids with distributed generation (DG) provide a resilient solution in the case of major faults in a distribution system due to natural disasters. Microgrids could be formed to supply the maxim...

Adaptive Corrective Control Strategies for Preventing Power System Blackouts

In order to investigate power system security and design appropriate control strategies, power systems can be conceptually classified into five operational states: Normal, Alert, Emergency, In Extremis, and Restorative. Various preventive and corrective control strategies have been studied to cope with power systems in the different operational states. Our approach primarily focuses on the corr...

hydrochlorothiazide detection in urine samples by hplc-dad and experimental design dispersive l-l microextraction

hydrochlorothiazide (hct) is a diuretic agent which is shown to be effective in the treatment of hypertension. literature reports have demonstrated that urinary excretion data may be used to assess the bioavailability of various formulations containing this thiazide. also hct consumption by the athletes is one of the drugs which should be regulated by world anti-doping agency (wada), because of...

Preventing rural workforce by design.

With 2.7 trillion dollars in annual health spending, America has no excuse for designs that have failed for decades with regard to rural health workforce development. Rural workforce failure can best be understood as the inevitable result of failure by design. Designs for revenue are insufficient to support the rural clinician workforce that would resolve deficits. The designs of health profess...
